Golf for Heroes in South Carolina

Everyone knows that South Carolina has great golfing, and the Beaufort area is no exception. If you live in an apartment in Beaufort, SC head over to one of the courses this week for Healing Heroes Golf Week.

Independence Fund is sponsoring this event which supports the vets who have been severely injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. The event gives golfers, who pay a registration fee, a chance to play with the vets.

Golf began yesterday at the Callawassie Club, and today at the Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes. The Thursday round is at the Sanctuary Golf Club on Cat Island and the Friday’s round is being held at the Fripp Island Ocean Point Links.

A paramobile allows an injured golfer to make their way around the course and can be raised to support the player as they swing. Independence Fund has a goal is to raise $17,000 for a paramobile.
